Trio Glossia - Trio Glossia (2025) [Hi-Res]

“Trio Glossia is a new North Texas-based jazz trio whose stylistic influences span the whole history of post-bop into free improv and beyond. Equally at home as composers and improvisers, theirs is a music that is equally challenging and accessible; cerebral, yet satisfyingly energetic. Comprised of drummer/vibraphonist Stefan Gonzalez, drummer/saxophonist Joshua Miller, and bassist Matthew Frerck, they are here to show that jazz is not only alive and well, it is still as fresh, brash, eclectic and rebellious as it ever was. On their debut single, the cheekily-titled Nerdy Dirty Talk, they skip, rollick, and roll forward with all the spry energy and glee of a youthful cartoon imp, who is just a little too sexy for their shirt; and almost too chaotic for this here cold, stale paradigm. A glib, infectious dose of whimsy, affecting to both brainwaves and libido if listened with one's full being properly engaged. Beginning each round with an insistent knock knock knock on Heaven's gate, they don't wait for you to ask who's there. They come in hard swingin' with an insistent forward pulse and an intuitive pan-chromatic melodicism; a singing joyfulness fit to put a smile on the face of even the most hardened cynic. They are not merely dreaming of their masters, they are here to seize the reins and celebrate the dawning of their own (free) kingdom. So sit back with your favorite cognac, caviar, or conundrum. OR get up, get back, get out, and get down with the baddest version of yourself that you can muster, and don't be afraid to conspicuously blush. Cuz it's time for some Nerdy Dirty Talk! (motherfucker)”
